Blessing Day!





Today we blessed Nicholas and Karlee in our home ward of Windsor Lake. It was wonderful having my mom (still) here and my older brother, Jon, and his wife, Tonya, who flew out from Utah just for the occasion. We've had such a great time with them. Mark gave both Nicholas and Karlee very sweet blessings and the babies were little angels. It made for a very special day!

It's hard to believe these twins are already one month old. Our life has changed dramatically, to say the least! It's been hard juggling two newborns and a 2 1/2 year old and I have been completely overwhelmed at times, but today, holding these little babies in my arms, has made it all worth it. My family is everything to me and I love so much being a mom!

Beautiful babies!!
These are the moments you have to remember when you are crying those tears of frustration. Hang in there. A few more weeks and you will be a pro :)

What BEAUTIFUL babies!!! And they are really starting to get the Swensen look! SO precious. I'm glad your mom and brother were there for the special occasion. I can't believe what it must be like juggling twins and a 2-year old, but you're amazing. And you look wonderful! Enjoy the special moments!

Love you all,

Lindsey-
I know everyone says the same thing, but I could listen all day long to people telling me my babies are beautiful! And they are! Karlee reminds me of Macy. It seems like yesterday Macy was so little, and now she's the big sister. Time flies. Again, congrats!
ps..people like you make people like me very frustrated. I CANNOT believe you just had twins, and you still look that great. It just isn't fair!

What a beautiful family! The babies are darling and you look amazing! How neat that Tonya and Jon came. How long have they been back from China? I can't believe the babies are already 1 month. Crazy!

Lori said...

Lyndsee, I just have to say... You look GREAT! Your twins are adorable!!! I can't imagine what it would be like to go from having 1 kid to having 3 kids all at once. WOW! We miss having everyone out here in Ohio. I had to find NEW "Day After Thanksgiving Shopping Buddies," to go with me this year!:0)

They are beautiful! And seriously, HOW do you look so great so soon after your babies?! You are Wonder Woman. :)

Hi Lindsey,

I found your blog on someone else's. Congrats! You do look amazing and I can only try to imagine life with twins and a two year old! WOW! If anyone has the patience and love for it, you do. We are due to be induced with number 3 on March 28th, which is pretty much all the news from our house. I hope it is warm there. I'm glad to catch up on your life here on your blog. It's so cute.

So beautiful and sweet. I love all of the pictures. Paige saw the pictures of the babies and said, "Oh, they're so beautiful. Such a beautiful dress!" You have to love little kids. You are so amazing (I thought that before you had twins and even more so now!) Good luck with everything!

The Teeples said...

Wow! I didn't think they could get any cuter but oh boy can they. Good work you two. If you ever need anyone to vent to don't hesitate to call me. I would love to listen to the good and the bad of three little ones.
We love you guys.

Those babies are adorable. Karlee reminds me of Macy (it seems like Macy was just that little). We miss you guys terribly.

Desmama said...

Okay, those are so sweet. And am I the only one who thinks they look like a precious little baby bride and groom in that first picture? They're just sweet. I hope you're doing well and finding time to rest.
